Let’s face it, most of us are in a panic when we have to buy gifts - we stress out about whether we can afford it or if the person will even like the gift. We are all in the same boat whether you are the bride who needs a “thank you” gift for a party hostess; or the guest who needs an affordable shower gift.  

Fear not as gifts do not need to be expensive. I think the best gifts you can give are simple every day items people can use. Sure the expensive deluxe ice cream maker looks fun but it will probably be put in a closet and seldom used.

Here are some ideas for affordable “thank you” and bridal shower gifts I found at Diram’s Wares.

Domesticated Diva Friend

For the “Martha Stewart” type friend you can give her something for the kitchen. How about this fun Strawberry Porcelain Pitcher which will brighten any room.  

Or for the Cook a fun Salt and Pepper Apron

Candy Lovers  

For the candy lover how about a cute white porcelain keepsake Chocolate Candy Jar?You can fill the jar with Chocolate Candy Kisses and tie a pretty ribbon around it. This would make a sweet hostess gift, thank you gift, or welcome gift for out of town guests. 

For the Social Friend

For the friend who relishes entertaining in her home a few unique Sandstone drink coasters would be a fun idea. How about this cute Orange Coaster? Bet she don’t have one like this.

If the bridal couple is into environmental issues they would love this Recycle Drink Coaster.

Active Friend

For the person on the go a customized Seashell Water Bottle would make a fun gift. You could present it with a gift certificate to her favorite spa. ~ It’s all about healthy lifestyles and pampering her. 

Coffee or Tea Lover

Along with this cute Bluebird Travel Mug  you could give her some gourmet coffee or special teas. Put it in a pretty bag with a ribbon…viola instant cuteness!
